Put stickie notes in your Writer's Inc books under sections you think you'll need/want to use

I told the class that many students made an error in the setting assignment that I wouldn't count off for, but I'll count off if it's wrong in the character assignment you're doing for next class. Here's the problem: When citing the page number for a quote from the book, DO NOT write (pg. 72). Just write (72). Put ONLY the actual page number in parentheses, and then put the period AFTER THE PARENTHESIS, just like I did above.
Example:
"Ralph was a tall, sandy haired boy with the broad shoulders of a swimmer" (3).

Quiz on Chs 7,8,9. Grade and discuss in class, esp. who Simon represents as a larger cultural figure

Work in groups of 3 to write 3 DISCUSSION questions based on the chapters we've just read, then join with another group and decide which of the combined 6 questions is best. Circle that question, and give papers from both groups to me to staple together. IF YOU MISSED CLASS, YOU SHOULD ON YOUR OWN COME UP WITH ONE DISCUSSION QUESTION FOR CHAPTER 7, ONE FOR 8, AND ONE FOR 9. No need to answer the questions -- just pose it (ask it).

HOMEWORK:
Read Chapters 10 and 11
Complete character assignment
